Pretty hilarious. I'd read the Harold Bloom one. Once I wrote a parody of a text for a class and in it I had fake footnotes (again, it was a parody), which cited Harold Bloom. The professor commented, that he didn't get the joke because "Harold Bloom does not have expertise in this field."

To which I responded, "Not yet."

I got an A.
